Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1437

Nevertheless, Thalia knew exactly who the person on the line was. Considering Fennec's matter, she immediately replied, "Nope! End the call. I'm not talking to him."

Although Fennec said she voluntarily stayed behind in her stead, Thalia knew she wouldn't have made such a decision if not for Reuben's suggestion. Truthfully, she didn't want to hear his voice now.

Shannon took her mother's instruction well, immediately ending the call and blocking his number.

Reuben seemed to have anticipated the outcome, his expression neutral. He knew Thalia wouldn't agree to his method, given his understanding of her personality.

However… When recalling her clearly defiant words earlier, he couldn't help but smile faintly. "At least, you came back, didn't you?"

He didn't attempt another call but opened MysticApp, offering a word of concern about Shannon's condition. The two fox flames in the clan lit up simultaneously, indicating that she had also awakened the demon bloodline.

"I know you've awakened your supernatural power. Come see me at the DCA soon."

He pressed the "Send" button yet received a notification that his text had been rejected. It appeared he had been blocked… again.

After blocking Reuben's number, Shannon also blacklisted Mr. Mission Specialist's account on MysticApp before putting away her phone.

At that moment, Lexie finally arrived upon receiving the news.

She opened her mouth and immediately started complaining, "Did you know? I was trying to enter that portal with you guys that day, yet it discriminated against me and kicked me out!

"Do you know how outrageous that felt? Do I need a VIP pass to access the alternate world or something?"

She rambled on, complaining about everything, and after patiently listening, Shannon asked about Heston's condition.

She had been struck by the heavenly lightning in the alternate world, and it was all thanks to Heston, who rescued them back into this world.

After saying a few things to him and Lexie, Shannon left the room. Downstairs stood Benjamin, waiting for her. Neither Hector nor their parents were present.

She approached Benjamin, who naturally extended his hand at her. The two of them held hands, strolling down the cobblestone path. They didn't head back directly but took a detour along the village road instead.

As she stood beside him, feeling the spiritual energy emanating from his palm, Shannon suddenly understood why Peanut had been so eager to stick around him.

Since awakening her supernatural power, being close to him and sensing the purity of his spiritual energy made her feel like every pore in her body was opening up, basking in the energy.

She looked at the man beside her and, after a pause, asked, "Hey, Benjamin. Does it bother you that I'm not human?"

He hadn't shown any weirdness toward her at all, but she still wanted to ask him.

Benjamin wasn't surprised by her question. Halting his steps, he turned and locked his dark gaze onto her. Instead of answering her, he softly asked, "Will it bother you… if I'm not human?"
